A fish rots from the head down
India’s situation is best explained by an ancient proverb,
“A fish rots from the head down.” When the head is
putrid, the body politic cannot be healthy…. When public
is angry over revelations of a new mega-scandal, the
strategy often employed is to start targeting second-tier
corruption selectively (while top-tier is protected).

India’s political corruption poses an

existential threat to the state.

Hassan Ali Khan Hawala scam
(evading taxes up to 100,000 crores)
Hassan Ali Khan a stud farmer from Pune who started as small time con man,
bank fraud to Hawala transactions. He has known Swiss account of $8 billion
dollars and more. Most of the money believed to belong to politicians and
industrialists and Khan was conduit. That is not all. There is enormous amount of
money ploughed back into India stock market as participatory notes. Even though
Swiss was willing to give more information if requested, Govt submitted forged
documents as request. Hassan Ali Khan is richer than Aziz Premji!!

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee is even changing tax laws to evade sharing
information about the assets. CID Investigations confirmed a meeting
between Hassan Ali, Vilasrao Deshmukh (ex CM of Maharashtra)
and Ahmed Patel (trusted secretary of Sonia Gandhi). -- The Statesman,

Bofors Scam
(400 million dollars, in 1980s)
Biggest scandal of the time, in 1980’s where major cut was believed to be
taken by Rajiv Gandhi and his party, with Quattrochi, close Italian family
friend of Sonia Gandhi brokering the deal. Quattrochi negotiated many
Indian Govt deals on behalf of his parent company Snam Progetti.

In Dec 2005, Indian Government (Additional Solicitor general) helped

de-freeze Quattrochi account with no regards to Indian courts as it did
not inform even the Supreme Court.
In Feb 2007 when Argentina detained Quattrochi, Indian Government
submitted forged papers that resulted in rejection by Argentina.
Recently India’s CBI withdrew his name from list of wanted persons.

 India, Republic of Scams
The cycle of winning elections and looting
India’s politics has evolved into a cycle of looting,
spending part of the loot to win elections and loot more.
The system has become incapable of bringing in new and
capable people because of the vast resources needed to
win election. This system encourages other parties to
steal so as to win elections and stay in the game.

In AP even state constituency is believed to

require 5 to 6 crores to win elections. Every
possible way to win elections is used, by
dividing people, manipulating Electronic Voting
machines, use money and muscle power. They
promise color TV’s, even homes!
 India, Republic of Scams
Kings have gone but new dynasties are coming up
Kings have gone but our corrupt
democratic system is evolving into new
dynasties with Nehru dynasty that
amassed vast wealth and resources as
the King and the other families as
satellites (for e.g.,) YSR, Karunanidhi,
Dev Gowda’s, NTR’s, Chautala’s etc.
The pattern of corruption is started by Indira Gandhi, who
openly patronized corruption as common in the world.
 India, Republic of Scams
India a democracy, is it?
The vast wealth gained by corruption, few individuals
can buy up India democracy. In 2008, smaller party MP
seats were bought with 10 million dollars per seat.
Once in power they compromise every democratic
institution to hide their game.

The smaller parties are won by carrot and stick.

They will be threatened for their wrong doings (all
of them have skeletons in the closet) and rewarded
with few millions for supporting.
 India, Republic of Scams
Degradation of India’s politics
40% of Indian MPs have criminal record
A tight control of media is exercised so as not to expose,
specifically Gandhi family. Politicians even own large
media. Even highest honors of India are awarded based on
the affiliations.
People are fooled with hundreds of Indian Institutions
named after Gandhi Family in spite of overwhelming proof
& allegations (Bofors, Quattrochhi, KGB Payments, 2G) of
looting country. While Mayavathi is busy unveiling her own
statues, YSR who looted the state was given state burial.
Rahul Gandhi, who has no record to speak of (and
who was arrested by FBI for money laundering in
US 2001) is foisted on the country without any
regard to eligibility. Rahul was partying while
Mumbai was in flames during 26/11.

India, a banana republic?
What is the
country
losing?
 What is country losing?
Just one 2G Scam, 40 billion dollars loot
mean following loss for the country
1.It is 3% of country’s GDP in just one scam!!!

2. It is 20% of the money needed to create a

National Grid (connecting all rivers in India).
Such a grid would ensure perennial water-supply
to every one of 6 lakh villages and to create 9
crore acres of land assured irrigation.

3. This one scam alone is believed to exceed the

colonial loot of 200 years!!
 What is country losing?
What could India do with 73 lakh crores (1.4 trillion
dollars)? India’s poverty can be wiped out.
Build: 2.4 crore primary healthcare centres. That’s at least 3 for every
village, at a cost of Rs 30 lakhs each.

Build: 24.1 lakh Kendriya Vidyalayas at a cost of Rs 3.02 crore each, with two
sections from Class VI to XII.

Construct: 14.6 crore low-cost houses assuming a cost of Rs 5 lakh a unit.

Set up: 2,703 coal-based power plants of 600 MW each. Each costs Rs 2,700
crore.

Supply: 12 lakh CFL bulbs. Thats enough light for each of India’s 6 lakh villages.

Construct: 14.6 lakh km of two-lane highways. That’s a road around India’s

perimeter 97 times over.
 What is country losing?
What could India do with 73 lakh crores (1.4 trillion
dollars)? India’s poverty can be wiped out.
Give: Rs 56,000 to every Indian. Even better, give Rs 1.82 lakh to 40 crore
Indians living BPL (Below Poverty Level).

Clean up: 50 major rivers for the next 121 years, at Rs 1,200 crore a river
every year.

Launch: 90 NREGA-style schemes, each worth roughly Rs 81,111 crore.

Announce: 121 more loan waiver schemes. All of them worth Rs 60,000
crore.

Hand out: 60.8 crore Tata Nanos to 60.8 crore people. Or four times as
many laptops.

Grow the GDP: The scam money is 27% more than our GDP (Rs 53 lakh crores).
 What is country losing?
Impoverishment of millions
80% of India is poor (less than 2$ per day)
and every second child is malnourished.
One third of global poor live in India
 What is country losing?
Impoverishment of millions
Since 1997, 199,132 farmers
committed suicide in India.
In 2004, in just one week 62 cotton farmers have committed
suicide in one place called Vidarbha in Maharashtra state.
 What is country losing?

Impoverishment of millions
The looted money is used to hoard food supplies to
increase prices and make more. This is making life hell
for poor in India with 17% inflation. A mother has to
chose between sending her child to school or to work.
 What is country losing?
Impoverishment of millions
100 million Indians live in slums
surrounding cities in depraved
conditions with no toilet or hygiene.

Insurgency

insurgency.
Fact India, based on newspaper reports
 What is country losing?
Terrorism
Transfer of loot to tax havens and to
countries harboring terror groups. For e.g,
transfer of Swan telecom 2G loot to Elisalat,
a Dubai based group with ISI involvement.
Also, the brokers who do the hawala
transfers for the looters also do for the
terrorists (Jain Hawala scam).
Dr. Subramanian Swamy, in news media on 2G scam
 What is country losing?
Poor infrastructure even to save food
grains causing food prices to soar
The cut in every project left India with
little infrastructure of drinking water,
electricity, roads, canals and sewage
systems making life miserabale. Worse, it
is costing 50,000 crores of agriculture loss
each year with thousands of tons of food
grains rotting when millions do
not have 2 meals a day.
 What is country losing?
Severe Internal and External Security Challenges
India’s police does not have proper equipment to
fight terrorists and insurgents. The shoddy bullet
vests could not protect our police during Mumbai
terrorist attack.
The wheeling dealing (cut to politicians) with every
military procurement left India with sub standard
equipment. Not only that, more seriously it destroyed
indigenous development of weapons. It is now believed
India will not win a determined war with its
neighbors.
 What is country losing?
Wide contrast between rich and poor
The rich and poor contrast is so
telling in Mumbai where Ambani
build 1 billion dollar home (most
expensive home in the world with
3 helipads and underground
parking for 160 vehicles) versus
Mumbai Dharavi slum where
nearly half of Mumbai population
live without sanitation, drinking
water (18,000 people per acre).
Ambani gave a jet plane as a
birthday gift to his wife which Dr.
Swamy says is used by Sonia
Gandhi as private jet for Italy trips.
 India is a rich

- Editorial, People Democracy
What are the
solutions?
 What are the solutions?
Massive awakening to
force laws that have teeth
and are not subjected to
political interference.
E.g., India’s RTI (Freedom of Information) act has given some
power to citizens over bureaucracy.
India against Corruption with well known activists has come up with such bills
and organizing rally to support them ( http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org )
 What are the solutions?

Reduce corruption for Govt

services by use of Technology
such as E-Governance and
reduction of Government
control. Transparency in
Government contracting etc.
 What are the solutions?
Encourage people to vote. Educate the
poor that the freebies given during
elections are stolen money. Encourage
citizens to say ‘No’ to bribes.
Several activists/NGO’s are springing up in India to tackle
the issue. Janaagraha recording of bribes (I paid a bribe)
prompted Karnataka Govt to take action. 5th Pillar has
addressed 600 colleges/universities, formed human chains
protesting corruption and created a brand of zero rupee
notes. India Against Corruption, TI India and several such
organizations that are actively fighting.
 What are the solutions?
Bring the looted funds back.
Work with US Department of Treasury, USA
Financial Action Task Force to track down the
money transfers into tax havens and the
rerouting back into stock markets through
participatory notes and other hawala routes.
Get familiar with this highly acclaimed book that
started the well known organization ‘Global Financial
Integrity’ fighting the dirty money in the world. It
shows the kind of methods used by Gandhi’s,
Karunanidhi’s, Ambani’s and others to save the stolen
wealth of India in different foreign havens and
impoverish millions.
 What are the solutions?

Develop Indian identity.

Indians should transcend religion,
region, caste, ideology (leftists
etc) and identify as Indians first.
Foreigners and dregs of the
society rule us because it is very
easy to divide us.
GET INVOLVED
India Against Corruption,
Janaagraha, Save India
From Corruption, 5th
Pillar, and many such
organizations, spiritual
leaders, activists, experts
are fighting valiant battle.
 Do not lose heart
It happened in Hong Kong, 1974 when mass
awakening established ICAC
(Independent Commission Against Corruption)

It happened in Peru in 2009 when people &

supreme court overthrew President Fujimori
It happened in Tunisia in 2010 when mass
awakening overthrew President Ben Ali
It is happening NOW in
Egypt against President Mubarak

It will happen in India
